Another tremor in #Aleppo last night that shook the building I was in. It was felt across most of #Syria and #Lebanon . In #Jableh #Lattakia, Syria coastal areas, people went to the streets fearing more collapsed buildings. A 5.1 earthquake was registered in South #Turkey.

We are hearing reports of earthquake damage in #Aleppo countryside and of more than one tremor in coastal areas. 💔

In its continuous retaliation to the terrorist attacks on #SyrianArabArmy points, #Russian warplanes carried out several airstrikes this morning , targeting terrorist headquarters in Batna town on the road between Maarat Misrin and Sheikh Bahr village, north of #Idlib.

Ironically, one of the killed terrorists was "Ahmed Abu Sataif" who used to run an "observatory" for terrorists, where its mission actually lies in detecting all types of military movements, such as warplanes and artillery
